This is clear glass salt dip which was used on
the family dinner table prior to salt and pepper shakers. These little dips were
filled with granulated salt and people would pinch what they needed and sprinkle it on
their food. This dip was made by the U.S. Glass Co. and has "Boston
1895" at the top and "Pittsburgh 1898" in the middle. It measures
approximately 2 1/2 inches square and 5/8 inches deep.
